Miracle

In a Holiday Inn in a bar in a corner
A man sat staring at the life he'd been handed
Praying for a miracle to let him sleep
He's got a woman back home and a woman in the city
Both of them sitting by the phone, he can't stand it
How could such a simple man be in so deep

And he believes in the miracle of love
She believes the same
He believes that the woman that shares his love
She'd share his name, share his name

Well his head's saying no and his heart's saying maybe
He's torn between the places he's been sleeping
And praying for a miracle that he don't get caught
He's just an old-fashioned man with a modern day problem
He's weighted down by the secrets he's been keeping
And things he didn't think about and the things he thought

He believes in the miracle of love
She believes the same
And he dozed off thinking that the woman that bares his child
Should bare his name, bare his name

There's a page turned down in the Gideon Bible
And God never wrote what it says in there
It's the name and number of a woman in Memphis, Tennessee
Not a chapter away from the crossing of the Jordan
The tears and the words of a man in prayer
For a woman back home and a woman in Memphis

'Cause he believes in the miracle of love
And she believes the same
He still believes that the woman who shares his love
Should share his name, share his name
